An exact replica of the original icon from the Holy Mount Athos. Made on natural wood with the use of traditional materials. Crafted with 22K gold leaves. Reproduction according to the museum print standards.
Jesus Christ is depicted frontally in a full-length representation that emphasizes the glory and majesty of the Savior. With His right hand He blesses the believers. With His left hand He holds a closed scroll, a symbol of the Gospel. His face appears solemn, yet at the same time conveys compassion and kindness. His gaze is penetrating. His body is draped in a tunic and a himation. In His halo appears the inscription "ό Ών" (One Who Is), emphasizing the ontological truth of God’s very being, while the sides of the halo bear the inscription “ΙΣ ΧΣ” — the name of Jesus Christ. The background is covered with a golden surface.
